ASOC Amateur Radio Quiz – Rules & Operating Procedures (Set 3) ASOC Amateur Radio Quiz – Rules & Operating Procedures (Set 3)Before attempting this third set, we recommend completing the previous two sets of 20 ASOC-level questions. This quiz continues to test your knowledge of amateur radio rules and operating procedures, with a focus on key regulations, on-air etiquette, and essential best practices. Tailored for aspiring ham radio operators, it’s a valuable tool to strengthen your ASOC exam preparation and take you one step closer to earning your amateur radio license. 1 / 20What is the first thing you should do if you are communicating with another amateur station and hear a station in distress break in? Continue your communication because you were on frequency first Acknowledge the station in distress and determine what assistance may be needed Change to a different frequency Immediately cease all transmissions 2 / 20What does the Q signal "QSL" mean when operating CW? We have already confirmed by card I acknowledge receipt We have worked before Send slower 3 / 20How do you call another station on a repeater if you know the station\'s call sign? Say "break, break" then say the station's call sign Say the station's call sign then identify your own station Say "CQ" three times then the other station's call sign Wait for the station to call "CQ" then answer it 4 / 20When sending CW, what does a “C” mean when added to the RST report? Chirpy or unstable signal Report was read from S meter reading rather than estimated 100 percent copy Key clicks 5 / 20Which layer of ionosphere disappears during night time? F E D C 6 / 20Which of the following statements is true of the single sideband (SSB) voice mode? Only one sideband and the carrier are transmitted; the other sideband is suppressed Only one sideband is transmitted; the other sideband and carrier are suppressed SSB voice transmissions have higher average power than any other mode SSB is the only mode that is authorized on the 160, 75 and 40 meter amateur bands 7 / 20Who is accountable if a repeater station inadvertently retransmits communications that violate WPC rules? The repeater trustee The repeater control operator The transmitting station All of these answers are correct 8 / 20What does it mean when a CW operator sends "KN" at the end of a transmission? Listening for novice stations Operating full break-in Listening only for a specific station or stations Closing station now 9 / 20What is a practical way to avoid harmful interference when calling CQ using Morse code or CW? Send the letter "V" 12 times and then listen for a response Keep your CQ to less than 2 minutes in length to avoid interference with contacts already in progress Send "QRL? de" followed by your call sign and listen for a response Call CQ at low power first; if there is no indication of interference then increase power as necessary 10 / 20When are you prohibited from helping a station in distress? When that station is not transmitting on amateur frequencies When the station in distress offers no call sign You are never prohibited from helping any station in distress When the station is not another amateur station 11 / 20Which sideband is commonly used in the VHF and UHF bands? Upper Side Band Lower side band Vestigial side band Double side band 12 / 20The frequency of 40 Meter band in MHz is 14 - 14.350 7 - 7.2 21 - 21.450 15 - 15.400 13 / 20How do you call another station on a repeater if you know the station\'s call sign? Say "break, break" then say the station's call sign Say the station's call sign then identify your own station Say "CQ" three times then the other station's call sign Wait for the station to call "CQ" then answer it 14 / 20What is an azimuthal projection map A world map projection centered on the North Pole A world map projection centered on a particular location A world map that shows the angle at which an amateur satellite crosses the equator A world map that shows the number of degrees longitude that an amateur satellite appears to move westward at the equator with each orbit 15 / 20Which of the following is an advantage when using single sideband as compared to other voice modes on the HF amateur bands? Very high fidelity voice modulation Less bandwidth used and high power efficiency Ease of tuning on receive Less subject to static crashes (atmospherics) 16 / 20What action should be taken if the frequency on which a net normally meets is in use just before the net begins? Reduce your output power and start the net as usual Increase your power output so that net participants will be able to hear you Ask the stations if the net may use the frequency, or move the net to a nearby clear frequency if necessary Cancel the net for that day 17 / 20Which of the following 20 meter band segments is most often used for most data transmissions? 14.000 – 14.050 MHz 14.070 - 14.100 MHz 14.150 - 14.225 MHz 14.275 - 14.350 MHz 18 / 20What is the recommended way to break into a conversation when using phone? Say "QRZ" several times followed by your call sign Say your call sign during a break between transmissions from the other stations Say "Break" "Break" "Break" and wait for a response Say "CQ" followed by the call sign of either station 19 / 20What should you do if a CW station sends "QRS" when using Morse code? Send slower Change frequency Increase your power Repeat everything twice 20 / 20Which emission mode must be used to obtain assistance during a disaster? Only SSB Only SSB and CW Any mode Only CW Your score isThe average score is 0% 0% Restart quiz
